Standing... Right on the edge of saying good-byeStaring and silently cursing the hands of timeI hear we're two worlds apartThat I can't be where you are

[CHORUS:]I hold my breath and hold on tightTry to stop the world tonight butIt keeps on spinningSo I'll take these memories in my mindTry to bring 'em back to lifeKiss you one last time and walk awayOr I could... stay

No wayIt's not like this thing was meant to lastI'd be crazy for taking that kind of chanceThe time we had... I wont forgetBut I gotta go, so this is it

[CHORUS]

And do what that I'm supposed to doOr stay and get on that plane and play it safeOr stay... I hold my breath and hold on tightTry to stop the world tonight...
